Blue Star fills hole in center of Westside’s eating scene

A local fan favorite, Blue Star Donuts, is moving into Beaverton. Since it opened its first store in December 2015, fans of the “Donuts for Grownups” have been begging Blue Star to come to the suburbs, according to Katie Poppe, founder and chief executive officer of the specialty doughnut company. She said she is thrilled to finally be opening a location in Beaverton.

“Don’t worry, we’re coming, we didn’t forget,” Poppe said.

She said Blue Star hopes to open its doors by late October, adding exciting flavors to the mix at Progress Ridge TownSquare, just in time for the holidays.
